TURN-ONS AND TURN-OFFS IN CURRENT HOME ENTERTAINMENT RELEASES : Excellent Good Fair Poor : VIDEOCASSETTES

“Motown Time Capsule: The ‘60s” and “Motown Time Capsule: The ‘70s.” MCA. $29.95 each. Motown, which has already moved aggressively into the packaging of CDs, takes an imaginative step into the home video market with these two entertaining and nostalgia-minded releases. Written and produced by Gino Tanasescu, they combine the music of old Motown hits with film clips and original animation to trace the pop and sociopolitical history of the two decades. Visuals range from the serious (civil rights demonstrations) to the good-natured (Barbie dolls and TV commercials). 1/2
